We are currently recruiting Hospital and Community Navigators to be based throughout Hertfordshire. The roles are permanent (subject to future funding). The roles are full-time but we will accept part-time applications and will try to find job-share partners.

About you

Are you a people person? Can you earn people’s trust? Can you help people find the support they need? Are you fully committed to person-centred services? Will you always “go the extra mile” to make sure people find the best possible solution to their needs?

Our purpose

Within a community and primary care setting, we use social prescribing to help people reduce unnecessary NHS appointments and find appropriate community and non-clinical solutions to their needs. Within a hospital setting, we work with clinical staff to ensure that people can leave hospital at the right time and with the support and care they need.

Our mission is to help health and adult care services to work together to reduce unnecessary demands and make sure people receive the best possible services appropriate to their needs.

The role

We are recruiting Hospital & Community Navigators to work with people who are frail or vulnerable or unwell, people who are in danger of losing their independence, people who are being admitted to hospital, and people who are being discharged from hospital.

Navigators take time to understand people’s needs, they understand what services are available, and they work with professionals, volunteers, families, and individuals so things link together as they should. 

Working across both hospital and community settings, you will help prevent the need for people to be admitted to hospital, reduce over-reliance on GPs and/or home care providers, reduce social isolation and improve health and wellbeing.

You will work to understand your local community, link people together, and help develop more effective services. When solutions are needed, you will find them.

The job

You will be employed by one of the seven voluntary organisations involved in the partnership: Age UK Hertfordshire, British Red Cross, Carers in Herts, Dacortium, POhWER, Watford & Three Rivers Trust and Watford Community Housing. Oher partners may join. 

You will work as part of a locality team led by a Senior Navigator. We need to recruit locality teams that can work flexibly as required by their communities: so everyone will be expected to do occasional evening or weekend work – and we need to recruit some people who will work as part of a rota to deliver a service available 9:00 am to 6:00 pm seven days a week. We can appoint people to work from home, but if your home is outside the locality to which you are attached, we will usually only pay travel expenses within your locality.

You will need to operate independently, use our case management database and communications systems, understand privacy rules and safeguarding, and work as part of a locality team supported by regular supervision, training and case conferences.

Please apply online stating how you meet the requirements for this post. If you are currently based outside Hertfordshire, please explain how you will relocated or commute if appointed.

We are committed to making a difference to children and adults with learning disabilities and life-limiting conditions and their families through our residential and community services. Each year, Stockdales helps hundreds of people to be the best version of themselves regardless of the challenges they face.

Short Job Description

The fundraising manager and fundraising officer make up the fundraising team at Stockdales. They work closely together to make sure all aspects of fundraising are covered successfully: individual supporters, fundraising volunteers, community groups, companies, charitable trusts/foundations and events. They are also responsible for all aspects of Stockdales’ marketing and PR.

We’re looking for a friendly, well-organised and committed person to join our small but busy fundraising team as our fundraising officer. This is an existing role which has been carefully developed over the last 5 years. Do you have what it takes to make this role your own and shape it even further?

As our fundraising officer, you will enjoy a varied, exciting role, with no two days the same! Your responsibilities will include all aspects of the fundraising administration, managing small scale community events, raising awareness of the organisation locally, putting the content together for our website, social media pages and newsletters (currently 3 times per year) as well as making sure our supporters have a high quality experience.

You’ll need to be a good all-rounder, think on your feet and work independently and flexible because there will be some evening and weekend work. You’ll also have a flair for creative writing as you will be putting interesting stories together for our newsletters and punchy posts for social media. A ‘head for numbers’, an eye for detail and strong problem solving skills and IT skills are also needed.

Excellent people skills are a must. In this role you will meet all sorts of people from many walks of life, so you will need to be confident and a good communicator. The fundraising team is in regular contact with the people we support too. This might be whilst taking photos, showing supporters round or simply dropping in to say hello. We support people of all abilities, some with severe learning disabilities and complex health needs. It is essential you are comfortable with this.

This is a thoroughly rewarding role for the right person. You might already come from a fundraising background or you may have all of the transferrable skills needed to make this your move into the charity sector. Whichever, if this is you, then we’d love to hear from you!
